Name on boarding pass

[foxer77]

I notice some airline can't include space

Like first name wei Cheng last name hon. Then can only key in first name weiCheng and last name hon.
Notice that the first name is join together but our passport is not.
Will this have any issue too?

No issue lah. The GDS system don't accept spacing and '. The GDS system only accepts alphabets.

Thanks. Hey I'm really grateful for your answer dilphinus and for all the other answers.. and of course you don't have to be responsible for the answer haha.
I was just looking for actual experience from people to decide if it's worth taking the risk - because my ticket is like 100+ only (round trip), so if I need to pay like $100 for name change, it might be worth just taking the risk.

I'm still waiting for a response from Agoda. Will respond here when I get something!

So did you manage to get on the flight? Facing a similar issue now

If your full name is tan ah kou idiot. You can use tan ah kou or tan idiot... jus that you may hv to manually checkin

Ya currently I put only Tan Idiot, so worrying whether they allow me to board. Manual check in is fine for me, I'll show up earlier for check in

Jetstar was kind enough to change it for free, and they did it very quickly over live chat.
So I didn't get a chance to test this out yet

You should be checking with the airline and not Agoda.

For some reason the airline asked me to ask the agency that booked my tickets instead of the airlines

ASK WHAT?

Name change, if you have booked with the agency, the agency has to do for you.

Ask whether can check in or not with the 'wrong' name, ask AIRLINE.

Depending on what questions you are asking, you ask the relevant people.

The agency just got back to me saying the airline isn't allowing us to change the name, advising me to cancel and rebook the ticket

At this point I think I might just wait till the actual day and manual check in and hopefully I can board the plane

I bought from Trip.com, the airline in question is JAL. You mean head down to the airport now to check? Is that possible?

i don't know but since discussion already in deadlock might as well go airport JAL counter see if they can help u. might need to pay amendment fees & remember to talk nicely

u r not the only one with this issue, lesson here is don't book flight tickets via agent.
